The hotel is absolutely incredible, especially if you arrives in Stonetown by ferry boat, because it is very close. But much more than that, the hotel is nestled in a wonderful former palace , from when you have a wonderful sea view. And the rooms??? What rooms !!!! Come to Mizingani, the most wonderful hotel in Stonetown!

The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided information about resources available. Loved the old town feel. It reminds me of a Moroccan riad. Breakfast is good. The location is great. It’s close to the ferry. It has a nice rooftop to watch the sunset. It’s close to the airport.

Great place to stay if getting the ferry from Dar Es Salaam and good space to explore from for a few days. Lovely room and reasonably priced. Non alcohol hotel which I think makes it a bit cheaper than others, which is great value.

The building has an interesting history and is furnished and equipped in authentic detail. The location is easy walking distance from the Dar ferry; across the street is a fishermen's beach, which is also where many boat tours start. Food was good both in the main restaurant (overlooking the beach) and in the small coffee shop at street level.
